Americans! READ THIS
« on: November 26, 2009, 12:28:58 am »
So since we're planning on getting a server in the USA to support our big american userbase, we would like to know if most of the Americans on here live on (or closest to) the east coast or the west coast. If you live EXACTLY in the middle then you can just vote what you'd like. Please vote on the poll on this page :D

Carbon -- Added the midwest to the poll. :3

And for the people who DO NOT live in the USA, don't try to be funny just vote on "Neither, I'm not an American"  :-*

Hmm. I live in the Midwest. Get a server in Chicago. It'd be good for central US people. :o

Also, if anyone knows a good and cheap (Dedicated Server) hosting provider please tell us, because we have absolutely no idea what to look for when it comes to USA hosters.  ???

Midwest here, so... Yeah. What Carbon said. A Chicago server.
 
It'd *possibly* reach both coasts, but... Not sure. I don't know any specifics.

I live in Fairbanks, Alaska, and yes, I do not live in an igloo and ride a polar bear to school. Oh yeah, I live near the west coast.
I like slowpoke.

Well, geographically speaking, a majority of the U.S.A. lives in the *East* side of the country, but you would have to check the statistics of how many people play from what areas, which would include checking ISP zoning to find out where ISP connections come from.

For a west-coast area, here's two:

and
http://www.webnx.com/

As for the east coast, I haven't a clue.
Thanks,

Ok thanks, I'll look into those. It's going to depend on how many USA players we got, because we might have to rent 2 servers (if our money allows it ;)). If that's the case I might buy one on the west- and east-coast.

I added the midwest to the poll options. If you live in the midwest, and you voted on either the east, or the west, you are more than welcome to change your vote to the appropriate section of the United States.

Damn, people really need to vote then. If more people vote, we will be able to add servers in the areas that need them the most. Maybe we should set it up as a global announcement? It may attract more people to it that way.

If you don't vote, i'll rent a server in China and'll make it the US server.
Yes, you will be lagging big time.
